How To Save Money on Inmate Calls

Correctional facility phone service companies have exclusive contracts at every facility that they operate, which means that they they control the prices.

The rates are posted and there are at least two different prices based on where the inmate is calling. The following three things will determine the cost of an inmate phone call: Where you are located; Where your inmate is located, What type of phone number you have.
